no. people usually delete them because the heater stays on and drains the battery

Deleting the grid heaters does nothing for power or economy on our trucks.

As already stated,most delete them for other reasons,mainly issues with the system.

It is proven to add a few hp on the dyno. I'd rather be able to start my pickup without cough medicine though.

i heard that you pick air flow, and now that the temps don't fall below 20* here they arent actually needed
